Quinnipiac doesn't offer as many classes as needed so that students can have manageable schedules and also take the class that are REQUIRED for their majors. Many of my friends or myself have not been able to get into required courses and QU will not add more sections which is pretty bogus. Make sure you have a good plan of what courses you have to take and always have backup plans because classes fill up quickly.

I didn't want to stereotype the students as being spoiled and conformist when I started here. I went to a state college and met atleast one student from Q.U. that fit the stereotype since she knew a friend of mine. In summary, some fit the stereotype and some did not.

If you are going into Quinnipiac as a communications major (particularly journalism) be aware that this is not a very creatively nurturing community. The professors are great, but dont look for too much student support. The student newspaper is getting better every year but there is a really small amount of students that actually write for it. Most students are very conservative and if you are really dedicated to the arts or are searching for creative inspiration, this might not be the place for you.

Quinnipiac is an excellent school that has it all. Great academics. Excellent professors. A beautiful campus. And the resources you need to be successful after you graduate (internships, career counseling, etc).
This is an especially strong school for communications, health sciences, and business, but you can't go wrong with any major at Quinnipiac.
This is a school you'll be hearing a lot of great things about for a long time to come.

I feel like there are many opportunities presented to me through the school. They offer concerts each semester, events all the time, and great job opportunities for after graduation. There is always a professor to talk to or give recommendations if needed and the class sizes are great. I loved everything about my Quinnipiac experience (minus the parking and lack of housing).

QU is a great school! It's probably one of the best choices I've ever made, and can't wait for the 3 years I have left here.

Quinnipiac is great.
Living with three other people in a cramped place freshman year can be discouraging. Especially if you don't get along with one, or all of them. ANd it can happen! Just dont take it personally, and push through. You will eventually find your niche' and people who will become your lifelong friends. NOT everyone is the same at QU, and you dont have to change to try to fit in. It all just happens very naturally, but don't cop out and go home every weekend, like I began to. You will learn alot about yourself, and others in the crucial first few weeks of being away from home. Embrace it! And PS - having beers to share is a great way to make friends. Just dont let the RA's catch you! They are EVERYWHERE just waiting to get you in trouble! ( well, some of them. but some of them are really cool too!) DONT STEREOTYPE! Be open and I wish you only the best.

The food here is SO EXPENSIVE. Seriously, I don't want to pay 2.00 for a water. Or $8 for a little pizza. A lot of people run out of money on their meal plan, which is $950 a semester.
